1 ; DIGITAL: Lights up when the receiver is decoding signals recorded in the Dolby Digital format.

2DTS: Lights up when DTS signals are input.

3SW: Lights up when sub woofer selection is set to “YES” (page 14) and the audio signal is output from the SUB WOOFER jacks.

4Playback channel indicators: The letters (L, C, R, etc.) indicate the channels being played back. The boxes around the letters vary to show how the receiver downmixes the source sound (based on the speakers settings). When using sound fields like “C.ST.EX”, the receiver adds reverberation based on the source sound.

L (Front Left), R (Front Right), C (Center (monaural)), SL (Surround Left), SR (Surround Right), S (Surround (monaural or the surround components obtained by Pro Logic processing)).

Example:

Recording format (Front/Surround): 3/2

Output channel: Surround speakers absent

Sound Field: A.F.D. AUTO

5Tuner indicators: Light up when using the receiver to tune in radio stations, etc. See pages 24–28 for tuner operations.

Note

“RDS” only appears for models of area code CEL only.

6D.RANGE: Lights up when dynamic range compression is activated. See page 22 to adjust the dynamic range compression.

7COAX: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the COAX terminal.

8OPT: Lights up when the source signal is a digital signal being input through the OPT terminal.

9LFE: Lights up when the disc being played back contains the LFE (Low Frequency Effect) channel and when the sound of the LFE channel signal is actually being reproduced.

0; PRO LOGIC II: “; PRO LOGIC” lights up when the receiver applies Pro Logic processing to 2 channel signals in order to output the center and surround channel signals. “; PRO LOGIC II” lights up when Pro Logic II processing (“PLII MOV” or “PLII MUS”) is applied (page 18). However, both indicators do not light up if the center and surround speakers are set to “NO”, and “A.F.D. AUTO”, “DOLBY PL”, “PLII MOV” or “PLII MUS” is selected.

Note

Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding does not function for DTS format signals.
